Actually, if you go by the weight distribution theory of wedge effectiveness, putting the burst motor at the back should make the best wedge possible.

The biggest issue with this bot would be stability. You need some (static!) side stabilizers (plows work good). You can get some extra weight by using a square 140 cm extender for the wedge, if it's not against your building ethics. You can also get away with a Snapper 2 rather than a DDT.

How do i get the 140 CM to show up? I have the patch installed, but it doesn't show.

It's under the square extender tab.

What? Drive? DDT's? Piston?

Vertigo · « **Reply #353 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:02:34 PM »

Drive, needs 4WD HPZ

Preytor_4 · « **Reply #354 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:03:43 PM »

Oh how incorrect you are. It's perfectly fine as is. For the drive that is.

There are a few issues with it that I can see. It's a nice idea with the poker, but that T Connector's going to go in a hurry. It also does need wedges, and HPZ 4WD. I'd try removing some of the inner irons on the side arms to get the weight, because they are going to hit absolutely nothing.

Vertigo · « **Reply #358 on:** March 18, 2011, 04:21:53 PM »

And those arms must move oh so slow with all that weight on them...

128 kg, if my maths is correct. Most standard Popups only have 34kg.
